You really need to showcase all your efforts and do them justice. Get a decent video camera - or at least turn off that crap auto focus that continually oscillates between blurry and more blurry. A tripod isnt a bad idea too.

I have a tripod... Just have to practice using it... Also, though, here in Vegas it gets really, really bright which makes it hard to see the lcd screen. I think my wife did a good job considering. I would like more close up shots of the plane while I fly. Hopefully in the near future, i will get better footage.

Glad it is not just me! I had a CS-10 I combined with a SAPAC motor, and it was all sounding and running perfect on the bench, but once installed in my Phase 3 F16, sounded like it was going to blow. I took it out, replaced it with a standard five blade fan, and now it was smooth, powerful, and fast! Oh well.

Try a small 1/8" sq piece of masking tape, inside the spinner. Then try the dynamic balance of turning the spinner. If it does not help, move the tape 45deg and try again. I have been doing this with Minifans since my first in 1998. Even the alum spinner in the Pro is improved with the tape. Oliver even suggests that the fan MAY run smoother without the spinner.

If you perform this task in the model, the foam is a good indicator of imperfections. It's a sounding board.

I got the 10 blade and the HK 100 amp opto esc and HK 5 amp BEC installed. With a 40C Zippy FlightMax 4000 and Cyclone Power 3300 kv motor:

92 Amps
1500 watts peak...settled in around 900 at about 75% throttle

Ran it for about 3 minutes and the ESC was cool to the touch...battery was quite warm...the biggest concern was that the EC3 connectors were VERY hot. May have to change over to EC5's but would not like to do that and take it all apart again.

Wondering it it got so hot because i had the wattmeter in between???

Otherwise going to have to fly this setup at 60% or less to keep them coolish.

OK guys, here's the 3rd flight of my SU-35... I love this plane! Near the end of the flight, however, I was messing with the thrust vectoring and ended up inverted, heading towards the ground. I didn't have much I could do. The plane was travelling too slow to turn her around. I just pushed both sticks all the way up and started praying! I don't know how, but my ExtremeRC CS-10 Alloy setup with the HET 2w-30's kicked in and lifted her to safety!!! Also, we were able to get much better footage as the sun was going down. Hope you enjoy the video and thanks for watching!
